Can I add antifreeze with different colors to my car?

You cannot add antifreeze with different colors to your car. Antifreeze, also known as coolant, is designed to prevent the cooling liquid from freezing in cold winter conditions, which could otherwise cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine cylinder block or head due to expansion. Functions of antifreeze: 1. Provides anti-corrosion protection for components of the cooling system; 2. Prevents scale formation, avoiding reduced radiator efficiency; 3. Ensures the engine operates within the normal temperature range. A lack of antifreeze will directly affect the radiator's cooling performance. When the water temperature is too high, the red water temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. If you continue driving without turning off the engine, it may lead to engine seizure and damage.
